US Holds Deep Doubts About Palestinian State, Ambassador Says

The US no longer wholeheartedly endorses an independent state for Palestinians, Washington’s ambassador to Israel said, adding that if one were to be formed it could be elsewhere in the region rather than the West Bank.

“Unless there are some significant things that happen that change the culture, there’s no room for it,” Mike Huckabee, an appointee of US President Donald Trump, said in an interview with Bloomberg in Jerusalem. Those probably won’t happen “in our lifetime,” he added.
